For the next few years, I will be parsing out the contents of my earlier nonfiction  book attempt: Imaginary Heroes. There will not be a second monthly post to frame these except for this one to introduce the table of contents, prologue and index for the whole book. In the future, if I depart from the book and post something else for the month, it can be distinguished in the Blog Archive list by a second framing post for that month.

IMAGINARY HEROES IN THE AGE OF SCIENCE: ARCHETYPES IN POPULAR CULTURE by

Michael Griffin

This month's post is the end of the framing material for the book notes. These Epilog comments do presage further research that I did. In the penultimate paragraph I said: "To get beyond (p,q,x,y,s,t) elements, one way would be to introduce qualities as their own set elements. In regards to the second JLS paper, we could say if a flower is red, if a person is good." This is exactly what was done in the 2nd and 3rd papers of the comic book trilogy. Antivillains and antiheroes were placed on a spectrum scale of good or bad (July 2014 post). The Doom Patrol was compared to the Fantastic Four based on qualitative aspects of individual team members (August 2014 post). Btw, the intended title of the book is simply Mythic Algebra.
